Co-washing at Its BEST!! YAY

Sunday, March 23, 2008

What does Cowashing mean? It's when you wash your hair with conditioner instead of shampoo as a way of increasing the moisture level in your hair.

Last night I decided to co-wash since my hair felt like it needed a lil moisture boost. I'm also 6 weeks post with nuff growth...lol... so this was the best time for me to co-wash! Here are the steps that I took:

Let me tell you that after this experience I learned that my hair lovesssssEVOO with conditioner. My hair turned out great. The smoothness was there, it was extremely soft I had to ask myself " Is this really my hair?", Im serious! I was very happy with the results. I guess its really true what Cathy Howse says, Oil is necessary to lubricate the hair and Olive oil, due to its molecular structure, is the best oil for penetration into the hair shaft. It's now my hair staple :)

If your hair gets greasy fast, I would say co-washing is a good way to refreshen the hair. Just do it once a wk though. If you do it too often, you'll have build up. Do you have any conditioners in mind?

How often are you supposed to cowash?? I have 4a/b hair too and I was wondering if cowashing once a week along with regular washing once a week would be too much for a start off? Or r u suppose to wash twice a week and then cowash once? im confused!! please help

i know i may have a crazy questions and a little of of the cowash subject - i am new to all of this and find every piece of information very interesting and informative! Are pre-poos done with oils and conditioner done on dry hair?

Hi .. im new and want to know something... How do you wash your hair with a conditioner in step 4 ? is it just like if you are washing it with a shampoo? and can i use any type of conditioner in step 4.

Yes, you wash your hair like you are using shampoo. Lightly massage it in the hair and rub the scalp. You can use any conditioner of your choice. Using a hooded dryer is okay to speed up drying time. Use the low/medium setting.
